COMB SLIDE, BINDER, OR THE LIKE FOR-LADIES7 HAIR.

Application filed November 7, 1927, Serial No. 231,703, and in Great Britain November 30, 1926.'

khelo and retained therein without fear of same dropping out oven with comparatively short hair. I. K

According to this invention I construct the appliance from two combs or equivalent, one or both being provided with a curved portion of or on the back as a clip whereby on the teeth of one engaging the curved por? tion of the other, the two will be held together and I may also .provide the curved portion on the back or the teeth with a projection or ridge to further assist with the curved portion to hold the two combs together.

The teeth can be formed straight, wavy, curved, angled in their length or at an angle to the back, or in any other suitable manner and the clip portion and/or the back or bar of the other member can be ornamented or carry ornaments or fastening means for holding ornaments and the members may be curved along` their length to conform to the shape of the human head.

Without restricting the invention thereto, it is described with particular reference to the embodiments thereof illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In these, Figure l is a general front view of a comb assembly or waver in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is an end view of one of the mei bers of an assembly; Figure 3 is an end view of the other member of an assembly; Figure 4 is an end view of the members assembled;`

Figures 5 and 6 are top edge views of a fiat and a curved waver, respectively; and Figures 7, 8 and 9 are end views of members showing various ways of placing of the projection for clamping cooperation with the mating member. c

Referring now more particularly to Figure l, the device comprises two members 'A and E. The member A is in the form of a comb with its back B having a bent or curved-over portion C, preferably along its entire length. A ridge or projection D is provided. For example, this may be on the inside of the back B, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4L, wherein the back is shown as formed with a ridge or projection D along the length. The outside of the portion C may be ornamented in any suitable manner. The other member E may be exactly like the member A l as shown. The teeth of the members may be straight, wavy or at an angle; and both members are preferably curved tothe shape of the head, Figures l and 5 showing a strznghtv device and Figure 6 a curved one.`

In use one member is inserted in the hair inthe usual manner and the second member then inserted in the opposite direction and the teeth passed over the teeth of the rst member and the ends passed in between the bent over portion C, the projection or ridge D engaging the teeth when the two members will be held together gripping the hair and secured from fallingout.

In another example, see Figure 7 end view, I may form the projection D on the inside ofthe bent over portion C orv as at Figure 8v I may form the projections D near the end of each tooth or as in Figure 9, I may form projections D on the inside of the curved portion C and at near the end of each tooth. Y v

In the case of large vornamental combs such as are known as Spanish combs I may form the clip portion or bent over portion C with the projection D as a separate article and attach same to the comb by cementing, riveting or otherwise.

The appliance can be made of any size to suit its requirements. For a binder forV instance, the teeth of both members would be comparatively short, for an ornamental comb, medium length and for waving hair, comparatively long.

lhat I do claim as my invention and desire to obtain by Letters Patent isl. In a hair waver, in combination, a pair of mating comb-like members adapted to lie the one upon the other tooth-toback, one of said members having a portion upon its back overlying the body of the member, to receive the other member between said portion andvbody, and means upstanding from one of said members in proximity to said overlying v portion, to engage the other member.

@..In a hair waver, in combination, a pair of mating comb-like members, each interchangeable withk the other, and adapted to lie the one upon the other tooth-to-back, each of said members having a portion upon its llO back overlying the body o1 the member, to reoeive the other member on occasion beh tween said portion and body.

3. In a hair Waver, in combination, a pair of mating comb-like members, each nterehangeable with the other, and adapted to lie the one upon the other 'tooth-to-back, each of said members having a portion upon its back overlying;Y the body of the member, to receive the other member on occasion between said portion and body, and means upstanding from eaeh ei' said members to lie in proximity to the other member and engage the seine.k

Li. in a hair Waver, in Combination, a pair of matingcomb-like members adapted to lie the one upon the other tooth-to-baok, one of said members having,` a portion upon its back overlying the body of the member, to receive the other member between said portion and body, and means upstanding from the back of one of said members, to engage the other member.

lessees 5. in a hair waver, in colibination, a pair of mating,` comb-like members adapted to he the one upon the other tooth-to-back, one of I' said members having a portion upon its back overlying the body of the member, to receive the other member between said portion and body, and means upstanding` from the said overlying` portion of said one member, to engage the other member. Y

6. in a hair Waver, in Combination, a pair ot mating comb-like members adapted to iie the one upon the other tooth-to-baek, one or said members having a portion upon its bee-1r overlying the body or the member, to receive the other member between said portion and bony, and means upstanding from the adjacent ends of certain of the teeth of one of said members, to engage the other iriember. Y

in testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

CHARLES ERNEST STACEY.
